On Friday 7 June, the Burdekin flocked to Alfie’s Bakery to get their hands on a precious round treat for National Doughnut Day!
Deon Crowdy hand-made over 500 delicious doughnuts to satisfy the cravings of hundreds of locals and visitors for one of the biggest events on their calendar.
“It was a huge day, we had lots of support from locals, people from Townsville and other out-of-towners, and we had lots of support from the schools and businesses coming to collect doughnuts to have for smoko, it was very busy,” explained Teresa Crowdy.
Deon was hard at work, crafting his creations from 1am on Friday morning ahead of the bakery’s 5am opening and filled the store with 250 classic and specialty doughnuts. Alfie’s Bakery fully sold out the treats by 8:30am, and Deon was back to whip up another batch just in time for another rush.
“Deon had to turn around and make another 250 doughnuts, and as he makes them by hand, each batch takes about an hour and a half to two hours to make,” explained Teresa.
The community indulged in handmade doughnuts of various flavours including liquorice, cookies and cream, honeycomb, bee sting, vanilla slice, caramel popcorn, Caramilk chocolate, churros, ice cream donuts, lamington, crème brûlée, rocky road and long johns, as well as Nutella and jam-filled doughnuts.
“We had great feedback, it was lovely, and the crème brûlée went fast, so did the honeycomb, Nutella filled, and liquorice, but we sold out of the rocky road doughnuts first!”
The Crowdy family thanks the community immensely for their support and can’t wait to continue serving up tasty treats!
